Green group urges power station snub

Environment Victoria says the State Government should reject plans for a new power station in the Latrobe Valley.

Energy company HRL has submitted a revised plan to build a plant at Morwell.

The station would use a combination of natural gas and gas derived from coal.

Mark Wakeham from Environment Victoria says the Government should reject the proposed station.

"We think it's a critical test of their climate credentials and their commitment to meeting that target and we think it's very important that this project is rejected in favour of much cleaner energy alternatives," he said.
